We’ve been over my klutzy tendencies again and again. So when I switched back to Android with the Samsung Galaxy S4, I knew I needed to make sure I had a good case. So I went with the g0-to for solidly built cases, Otterbox. But I’m also incredibly girly and didn’t want to

At Pure Geekery, we tend to focus on the purely fun aspects of Indianapolis life. Places like bookstores, gaming cafes, and museums.

Last week, John and I were at Comic Carnival perusing the aisles for new reading material. There it was, the cover of Ms. Marvel, catching my eye with her lightening bolt t-shirt and a colorful scarf tied around her neck. Normally I wouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but when it

Yesterday (April 5) was the second annual International Tabletop Day, a day designated to celebrate analog gaming. I spent the day at Game Paradise in Fountain Square celebrating Frank from QuantumFit’s birthday. Game Paradise has been on my list of places to go for a while now so I was happy to

Oh the mysterious cloud. It’s that magical place where the Google and Dropbox fairies live. That place where nothing can go wrong (except when it does). And your data is safe (except when it’s not). Now, I love my cloud services. My Google Music allows me to listen wherever/whenever. Dropbox has backups

As you all probably saw, I spent last week on a family vacation to Disney World. It was the princess-obsessed Geekling’s first trip at an age when she’ll actually remember and my first Disney vacation as an adult. I’m a self-confessed Disney addict and have no problem indulging in all the joys

If you follow us on Instagram you know I spent last week working on my nerd cave, a project I’ve been planning for a little while now. I wanted to create a contemporary and girly space for my gaming. Which meant I was on my own as far as inspiration goes. Surprisingly, even

Spoilers ahead, obviously. Like many of you, the fiance and I sat down last night with snacks and beer, ready to absorb a moment in television history: the finale of the much-loved TV comedy, How I Met Your Mother. And, much like many of you, by 9 o’clock I was staring blankly

Books & Brews is a new concept in the Indy area, it’s a used bookstore and nanobrewery combined. The front half of the store is a bookstore, and the brewery is in the back. I headed over there with Tamre from Tiny Table to see how the concept played out. I wasn’t

This past weekend was the first Indiana ComicCon, and if social media is any indication, there were several unhappy con attendees. Most of the complaints centered around overcrowding, long lines, and a lack of volunteers. While Pure Geekery didn’t attend ComicCon (you can read all about our guest blogger’s experience though), we
